This is really getting quite remarkable

β’ Number of people deleting their X/Twitter account remains way up
And the next chart is particularly notable...

Because believe me, itβs A LOT.
A number of people (myself included) deleted all their tweets so they can't be used for AI scraping and removed the app, but didn't deactivate the account to prevent someone from taking the handle.

It is ONLY website traffic data, NOT in-app usage. Which is by FAR the largest source for these platforms.
Massive change for French speaking users when large account of newspaper halted to post on Melon Tusk media.
Γa serait gΓ©nial. Je suis ces trois feeds, et la version de Brazil est toujours trΓ¨s active que les autres. (peut-Γͺtre que je dois suivre de meilleurs feeds?)
Mas no twitter sigo tambem muitas contas espanholas Γ© francesas que ainda naΓ΅ pensam de sair.
I guess the migration will probably happen in waves. it's likely the EU may take some action against X soon, and then we'll see a lot more people coming here.
Luckily the block feature is excellent
I kept my handle for a while, but now itβs over. #XTPFKAT became irrelevant for me.
Is it worth acting on this warning?

Elon Musk βsuper appreciatesβ the fact that IBM, Disney, Comcast, Warner Bris, Lions Entertainment and Discovery have resumed their ads on X, as they rebuild trust.β #auspol
Facebook
WhatsApp
Instagram
India is the number one user base
But then I found Bluesky! I haven't been on insta or threads in a week and don't miss either one.

Can't be good for their brand...
such is the depth of Elonβs incompetence

Was also one of the last straws for me
In any case let's see how far Bluesky makes it up their monthly "most visited websites" ranking for November once that comes out (last month's still had X at #6) https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/
Plus it's owned by Meta, and lots of people want to avoid that too.
Iβve deleted my FB account. Instagram is probably next.
Last year I found out that Iβve been banned from Meta for βviolating community standardsβ.
Badge of honor.
Enough to persuade me "Never!"
It's awesome to see BlueSky taking off & growing at such a phenomenal rate!

P.S. You're going to need a somewhat bigger Y axis.
The problem with Threads is that it's not a Twitter substitute. Threads is averse to politics and real time news
In my defense I barely tried Threads
It's like the worst parts of twitter with worse moderation.
The only thing threads had going was that it wasn't Leon and it onboarded Instagram follows.
FB and especially Insta are friends-only for me. Twitter/Bluesky is about affinity groups for me. Even my real-name account is just professional.
I donβt want the cross pollination.
Twitter was for people you like but donβt know.
Oh, and fuck Zuck.
Deleted FB &Threads last week.
The Sky is the limit!!!
Numbers here don't pass basic sanity checks, e.g.:
In earnings call Meta reported 275M monthly active.
Assuming ~10% U.S. and DAU/MAU ratio of 0.5, this would give ~14M.
Way off from 2.5M, even if assumptions differ
i need a good laugh
I would be curious to see the stats for web and app users combined.
Threads started without a web client with just the app, as well as instagram being mobile focused in general. So my assumption is that most Threads users interact via the app vs the Web.
I get that you can disconnect the Meta accounts but don't feel like dealing with it for little gain.
Though it's rarely good news these days.
Itβs all new and exciting now π
PS letβs have more clever, funny stuff. Love history. Love politics but we are not only our politics.
βDo you think the Threads DAU is too high or too low??
Which part is hard to believe?
Whatβs Instagramβs DAU??
And is Monthly DAU just all the DAU added up (30 days * DAU)?
So something is wrong.
https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/threads-reaches-275-million-users/731572/
Threads is just awful in every way.
"Morning Zuk!" π
Also, should it not be said by what measure (daily active users in the US) Bluesky has overtaken Threads?
We have already seen Elon bully people because he doesn't like them.
Why would one stay
I never did, firstly bc of the owner and also I didn't think it would last long.....
Now, can we get all the "I've been here for ages, nice of you to finally join" people to remember that it was invite only and some of us waited there forever. I ended up joining with an invite code.
Now the club has sacked the doorman, oh, look, growth!
Love to y'all.
However, in the interest of data
How many daily users does twitter/x have?
And we have conservative crybaby trolls/bots showing up.
https://bsky.social/about/blog/press-faq
Then I remember that journalists probably actually access social media on a proper computer.
Hopefully it's not too late.
Not sure why Bluesky didn't capitalise the S.
You should also capitalise each word in a hashtag - to differentiate between words for screen readers.
Also (sorry for nagging!) do use alt text for images.
Those with vision issues deserve to be able to enjoy here as much as the sighted.
Cβest la vie.
Closely correlated but not the same thing.
If there are no more cablesβ¦
ta daβ¦
Now your friend Elon can provide Starlink !!
A very obvious move.

I am new to BlueSky.
Good vibes here.
(For now admittedly)
It'll be no different from the Xesspool without proper moderation.

@klenkflorian.bsky.social states that he gets more interaction in bsky than in x, also with much fewer followers.
How long will this 1M per day growth continue, and how manywill beactive users?
What level would make Bluesky a serious player?
